Cardinals, Demon Deacons On Tap For UNCW

WILMINGTON, N.C. - UNCW returns to action on Tuesday when it continues its nine-game homestand when it hosts Ball State in the first of two mid-week non-conference games which also includes Wake Forest on Wednesday. Both games are slated for 4 p.m. starts.

Both games will be video streamed for free at UNCWsports.com through Hawk Vision. Broadcasts start at 3:45 pm for both games as Mike Vaccaro and Joe Cardile bring you all the action live from Brooks Field.

The Seahawks halted a four-game losing skid on Sunday with an 11-3 win over Stony Brook behind the hot hitting of Andrew Cain and Alex Hill. Both players had two hits and three runs apiece in the win. Hill connected on his first round tripper of the season.

Daniel Cropper will make his third start of the season on Tuesday against the Cardinals of Ball State (3-8). Cropper owns a 0-1 mark and a 3.55 ERA through three appearances, which include a pair of starts.

Ball State, the preseason favorite to win the Mid-American Conference, enters the game having dropped three of its last four, including a pair of one-run setbacks to nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina. Senior Brad Piatt will draw the start for the Cardinals.

On Wednesday, UNCW hosts the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest. Sophomore Steven Davis (0-2) will make his second start of the season while WFU counters with freshman Justin Van Grouw (0-2).

Following the midweek action, the Seahawks will close out the homestand with three games against Duquesne starting on Friday with a 6 p.m. start.
